The Town of Barnstable is seeking bids for a .22-acre property at 58 Willow Ave. in Hyannis, which once served as the garage for the Barnstable Police Department on Elm Street.

The property includes a building of about 2,100 square feet and is eased by Cape Cod Fuel. Chief procurement officer David Anthony said that the business owner has expressed an interest in acquiring the property over the years. Up until now, the town has not deemed a sale in its best interest, but that’s changed, Anthony said.

The minimum bid is $155,000. The property is assessed at $174,700. It is located in the Hyannis Village Business District and there are no use restrictions other than what is allowed by the underlying zoning.

Bids are due no later than 2 p.m. Aug. 10. A recommendation to the town manager is expected within 30 days of the bid deadline.
